Method for automatically determining a planar event such as a bedding plane from azimuthal wellbore log data (501). The image log may optionally first be filtered using a smoothing filter (502). Then, the image log is inputted to a gradient (first-derivative) filter (503). The image log is also used to find the optimal local sinusoidal trend (or orientation) on the image by determining the best sine wave at each depth among all azimuthal curves from the image using a minimum-variance method (504). Finally, bed boundaries are located based on highest contrast (506) calculated along the sinusoidal lines on the gradient image (505). |
